+  <title>x11vnc: Authentication bypass in included LibVNCServer code</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    VNC servers created with x11vnc accept insecure protocol types, even when
+    the server does not offer it, resulting in the possibility of unauthorized
+    access to the server.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    x11vnc includes vulnerable LibVNCServer code, which fails to properly
+    validate protocol types effectively letting users decide what protocol
+    to use, such as "Type 1 - None" (GLSA-200608-05). x11vnc will accept
+    this security type, even if it is not offered by the server.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized
+    access with the privileges of the user running the VNC server.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All x11vnc users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-misc/x11vnc-0.8.1&quot;</code>
